If the true gas mileage would have been reported by the time I purchased the vehicle, then I would be the proud owner of a VW Tiguan...not a Sportage. At one time or another I have owned American, Japanese, German and now a Korean automobile. Never again will i pay for an American or Korean engineered vehicle. I will hopefully never own anything but a German engineered vehicle again once I rid myself of this flimsy excuse for a car....at least it is pretty.
